<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis challenged former president Donald Trump to a one-on-one debate after the former president did not show up to the second Republican Party primary debate on Wednesday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.</p>
<p>DeSantis made the remarks during a post-debate interview on Fox News with host Sean Hannity after the two-hour event. The 45-year-old already has a one-on-one Fox News debate with Hannity set up against California Governor Gavin Newsom on November 30 in Georgia.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know what, maybe we can say, since the former president didn&#8217;t come here, maybe he&#8217;d be willing to do one with you and I,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;I think he owes it to our voters to come and make the case.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re now challenging, so this is going to be Hannity one-on-one debate central?&#8221; Hannity responded.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s do it,&#8221; DeSantis responded. &#8220;Let&#8217;s do it. Here&#8217;s the thing though, [Trump] owes it to the voters to come and make the case, no one&#8217;s entitled to anything. You know, you can say, &#8216;oh, there&#8217;s some poll months before&#8217;, no. You gotta make the case, you owe it to the voters.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I&#8217;m going to show up everywhere,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think that that&#8217;s what we were able to do and there were some important issues that were discussed tonight. There&#8217;s also others that I know you and I&#8217;ve talked about that weren&#8217;t discussed. But at the end of the day, I think the thing that was clear for this, there&#8217;s a lot of talk, a lot of people have good things to say. I&#8217;m the guy that&#8217;s done it. In Florida, we did everything I promised.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;He owes it to you to defend his record, where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt that set the stage for the inflation that we have,&#8221; DeSantis added.</p>
